Heirloom Fruitcake image

I wanted a holiday fruitcake made with butter, honey , eggs and cream. When I couldn't find a recipe, I created this one. I like this cake because it's not as sweet as many traditional varieties yet is loaded with fruits and nuts. -Sharon McClatchey, Muskogee, Oklahoma

I used a gluten-free flour blend in this recipe and it turned out perfectly.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to omit them from this recipe. It still turned out great!

This fruitcake is way too expensive. I could buy a whole cake at the store for less money.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about this fruitcake. It's just an average cake with a lot of dried fruit.

This fruitcake is not worth the time or effort. It's just a bunch of dried fruits and nuts held together by sugar.

This recipe is way too complicated. I spent hours making this fruitcake and it didn't even turn out good.

I followed the recipe exactly and my fruitcake turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This fruitcake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
